Heterotopic ossification is a rare complication of burns, and its incidence and risk factors are still unclear. Through summarizing the literature on heterotopic ossification caused by burns at home and abroad, the author searched for the risk factors of heterotopic ossification after burn and the new progress of its prevention and treatment. It was realized that the size, depth and healing time of burn wounds were related to heterotopic ossification; the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, radiation therapy, and their combination therapy can be used for the prevention of heterotopic ossification; surgery is an effective means of treating heterotopic ossification.
